jajv
« on: Monday 05 June 17 16:30 BST (UK) »
Hi, I'm new to sasines but understand that:
jajvi and fifty seven years = 1657
jajvii and fifty seven years = 1757

But... what does "Jajvijle and fifty seven years" mean? Anyone have a clue?

It's at the beginning of this clip attached.

Is it perhaps a capital C at the end, rather than le ?

jaj = 1000
vijC = 700
So ... jajvijC and fifty seven = 1757
